Self-style outliners for Javascript

Just for kicks, I used Sun Labs' Lively Kernel to create a sorta-kinda vaguely Self-like environment for Javascript.

There are lots of rough edges and bugs and missing features, but you can try it out at:

   (and the code is at http://github.com/AdamSpitz/Lively-Outliners)

(I've mostly been testing in Safari, though I think it might run OK in Firefox and Chrome. Definitely not IE.)

It isn't much - mostly just outliners, plus a transporter system for filing out .js files. (In particular, there's no debugger; I've been using Safari's debugger.) But I think it's kinda fun to play with.

Compared to Self, this thing is crippled and slow and inelegant... but it runs in a web browser.

If anybody out there is interested in helping me flesh out this system into something more solid, let me know - I'd welcome the help. :) Feature requests, bug reports, and all other comments are also welcome.
